Personally, I am very thankful to the people that created the Rebalance Mod! Firstly, I have no time to play on servers, so for me any good mod that has single player available, especially Open SP (and the possibility to choose level of difficulty) is very welcome. Secondly, indeed, every ship in this mod has unique behavior, it is such a fun to explore and experiment. I have currently 7 different saved games (with different ships) and I am going to complete the game with all of them, just to experience fully the different "characters" of the ships. And I have not started playing with the cap ships yet! The non-cut option is VERY USEFULL too. I believe that comparison between different mods is kind of useless, I am sure that all the creators did their best for theirs and ours pleasure! Thanks to all of you, people, keep going the good work!

Yes, it is kind of cheap play to trade using the EFA system as link....I did it because I wanted the money in order to experiment with buying different fighters and components for them. And also, I finnished the whole game in the "non-cheap" way 6 times already, so I wanted a bit fun<img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Since the man who posted first sounded a bit desperate to me, well the trade is in the game, why not use it..... Still, you can have pretty hard time defending your slow, clumsy freighter against X-wings for instance! Of course I am a bit hypocrite now, since after the first trade course, you can fill the turret slots with cluster missiles and beat the hell out of any enemy you may encounter at this stage of the game.

Hi, Did you consider trade? I just started a new game, and invested all the money I could collect during the first missions in a freighter. On planet LA or Jupiter research station you can buy the cargo ship from Star Wars (forgot the name). It has cargo hold of 700! Once you have it, consider trade between planet LA and planet New Tokyo (using the EFA system as a link). Luxury consumer goods from LA, and engine components from New Tokio. Now, I still had problems with pirates and such, but this cargo ship has 3 slots for trusters. Use them all, of course your energy drain will be HUGE, but you can play with the kill engine option. If you encounter enemies, hit the trusters (you can go around 500 speed), kill the engine and switch to turrets in case some ship is able to catch up with you. If you are willing to play even easier, you can trade luxury food from Jupiter research station to New Tokyo. On this road there are almost no enemy ships. After collecting enough credits go and buy any ship you like! A bought the Colonial Viper, an excellent choice for early game. I had plenty of fun (especially the first 10 minutes) switching from the heavy freighter to one of the most agile ships in the game. Hope this helps and sorry for any language mistakes (I am not a native speaker)! Good flying!
